CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 114: A HUGE FALL IN STATUS, IMMENSE FEAR

"How could this be possible?"

In the distant void, the black-haired elder let out a loud roar.

His two direct disciples, who were a full five realms higher than those two youngsters, were only half a step away from the Nirvana Realm.

Two peerless prodigies on the brink of the Nirvana Realm, they even unleashed one of the three secret scriptures of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird, the Yin Yang Xuan Bird Technique.

Yet they were still defeated by those two teenagers.

At a critical moment, the two teenagers somehow resorted to some Secret Technique, and their combat power surged severalfold.

"How... how are you so strong?"

The proud young man coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face twisted in a ghastly grin.

He stared at Jun Moxiao and Luo Li opposite him, his eyes filled with astonishment.

During that fierce exchange, he and his junior female disciple had unleashed their Yin Yang Xuan Bird Technique together... Yet those two on the other side remained perfectly fine. Have their bodies really reached this level of strength? Such a phenomenon is beyond comprehension!

"COUGH! COUGH!"

The delicate young girl also coughed, quickly covering her mouth with her hand.

However, crimson blood streamed through her fingers.

She was injured, and severely at that; all her vital organs were damaged.

"Senior brother, we lost." The girl said despondently, her eyes revealing deep disappointment.

To think that they, the peerless prodigies of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty, would lose to two nobodies. The blow to their confidence was immense.

Jun Moxiao’s chest heaved as he fought to control his chaotic breathing.

After calming down, he raised his Sword, coldly watching the pair opposite him.

There was no sign of arrogance left in the proud young man and girl, as if they had indeed been frightened by them.

But was merely scaring them enough? After all, these two had vowed to kill them and seize the treasures on him and his senior sister. Murder and robbery! He would not tolerate such behavior from his opponents; he had to kill them, and quickly!

At this moment, Jun Moxiao was filled with a murderous intent. He was determined not to let these two live.

"Junior, let’s go!" Luo Li took a deep breath and said coldly.

If no one attacks me, I won’t attack them. If someone does attack me, I will put them to death.

Consistently on the same wavelength, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao charged toward the young pair almost simultaneously.

"You brats, how dare you?!"

A furious roar rolled over them like thunder from a distance.

With a flash, the black-haired elder descended from the sky, releasing an overwhelming pressure that stalled Luo Li and Jun Moxiao.

Against the mighty Heaven Mandate Realm Great Cultivator, they couldn’t advance an inch.

Confronted with the descending Heaven Mandate Realm Great Cultivator, Luo Li and Jun Moxiao’s expressions remained tranquil, though their brows furrowed slightly.

So, it seemed these proud young prodigies had a Protector; that’s why they were so fearless.

"You two children are rather ruthless, aren’t you? Do you intend to kill them after winning the contest?" With his hands behind his back, the black-haired elder asked coldly, the air about him that of a superior.

He was still hesitating, unsure whether or not to kill the two youngsters himself.

After all, his status in the Heavenly Moon Dynasty was high and his cultivation base profound. Killing two Divine Bridge Realm Cultivators would indeed compromise his reputation.

"Senior, are you joking? Your disciples were the ones trying to kill us. Should we just sit and wait for our deaths? Now that we’ve won this contest, is it not right that we should kill them?" Luo Li retorted coldly.

In the face of the Heaven Mandate Realm Great Cultivator’s crushing Super Divine Dragon Breath, she and Jun Moxiao stood as straight as spears.

The black-haired elder narrowed his eyes.

What sort of people were these two calm youngsters? Who gave them such courage? Could it be... Are there Protectors around? In the small Shenfeng Dynasty, who else could possibly have a cultivation base stronger than his?

"Master, we must kill them, so their treasures will be ours," said the proud young man standing behind him, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, a cruel sneer in his eyes.

They had already shed all pretense of cordiality; it was now a case of kill or be killed. He was no longer acting arrogantly.

"Master, please make your move! We believe that you can crush them with a single finger!" the delicate young girl said resentfully.

Her gaze was extremely sharp, like two piercing swords, fiercely stabbing towards the pair opposite them.

"..."

The black-haired elder was lost in contemplation. After all, at his age, his thought processes were far more complex than those of his two young disciples.

"You two losers!" Jun Moxiao scoffed coldly. "If you have any guts, fight us yourselves! What kind of heroes are you, letting your elder fight your battles? What a pair of cowards!"

Jun Moxiao’s words made the young man and girl flush crimson.

They were rendered speechless.

After all, both were extremely proud prodigies. Taunted by Jun Moxiao in this manner, they were truly left without a comeback.

After all, they had lost earlier.

They lost fair and square, without a shred of doubt.

"You two kids are so arrogant. Surely, you must be relying on someone. Call your elder out!" the black-haired elder sneered.

"Elder?" Jun Moxiao and Luo Li exchanged a look, a peculiar smile touching their lips.

This old man is merely a Destiny Realm Cultivator; is he even qualified to meet our Ancestral Master? Our Ancestral Master has reached the Divine Monarch Realm; why would he bother meeting these insignificant Destiny Realm Cultivators? To be blunt, our Ancestral Master alone could destroy the entire Cangnan Continent. After all, the Divine Monarch Realm is countless times more powerful than the True God Realm! And the strongest on the Cangnan Continent are merely at the Eternal Realm!

"Old man, your words are genuinely ridiculous; I don’t even know how to respond to you..." Jun Moxiao chuckled, a contemptuous look in his eyes.

He, of course, wouldn’t reveal their Ancestral Master. After all, their Ancestral Master’s status was far too lofty. One hundred thousand years ago, he was the number one Eternal Realm expert on the Cangnan Continent. At that time, it’s debatable whether this old man’s ancestors, going back two hundred generations, had even been born!

"You!"

The black-haired elder was infuriated by Jun Moxiao’s words, particularly his disdainful gaze.

He took a deep breath, hands behind his back, releasing a powerful aura as he slowly stepped forward.

He didn’t launch an attack directly.

Instead, he advanced cautiously towards Luo Li and Jun Moxiao, which showed that this black-haired elder was an extremely careful person.

Just as he took his first step, the black-haired elder’s expression changed drastically.

His cultivation base abruptly dropped from the Heavenly Mandate Realm Tenth Level to the Nirvana Tenth Level, a fall of an entire Major Realm!

Amidst his enormous shock, before he could completely react, he unwittingly took a second step.

The next moment, the elder’s eyes bulged, his mouth fell agape, and his face filled with horror, as if he had witnessed the most terrifying thing imaginable.

"AAAH!"

He let out a bloodcurdling scream.

The black-haired elder was terrified to realize that his cultivation base had plummeted from the Nirvana Tenth Level to the Tenth Layer of the Divine Bridge Realm!

His cultivation base was now identical to that of his two direct disciples!

"Master, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing their Master suddenly scream like a madman, the young pair behind him immediately tensed up.

Then, they saw their Master suddenly whirl around. His eyes bulged, bloodshot, his face contorted, baring his teeth and clawing the air like a madman.
